Jo Utar Ke Zeena-e-Shaam se...

One of my MOST favorites...

Jo utar ke zeena-e-shaam se teri chashm-e-khush main sama gaye
Vahi jaltay bujhtay se mehr-o-maah meray baam-o-darr ko saja gaye

Ye ajeeb khel hai ishq ka main ne aap dekha ye mo'jza
Vo jo lafz meray guma.n main thay vo teri zuba.n per aa gaye

Vo jo geet tum ne suna nahin meri umr bhar ka riyaz tha
Meray dard ki thee dastaa.n jisay tum hansi main ura gaye

Vo chiragh-e-jaa.n kabhi jis ki lau na kisi hava se nigoo.n huii
Teri be-vafayee ke vasvasay usay chupkay chupkay bujha gaye

Vo tha chaand shaam-e-vasaal ka keh tha roop teray jamaal ka
Meri rooh se meri aankh tak kisi roshni main naha gaye

Ye jo bandgaan-e-neyaaz hai ye tamaam hai vo lashkari
Jinhain zindagi ne amaa.n na dee to teray huzoor main aa gaye

Teri berukhi ke deyaar main main hava ke saath hava hua
Teray aainay ki talaash main meray khaab chehra ga.nva gaye

Teray vasvaso.n ke fishaar main tera sharaar-e-rang ujarr gaya
Meri khaahisho.n ke ghubaar main meray maah-o-saal-e-vafa gaye

Vo ajeeb phool se lafz thay teray hont jin se mehek uthay
Meray dasht-e-khaab main door tak koi baagh jesay laga gaye

Meri umr se na simat sakay meray dil main itnay savaal thay
Teray paas jitnay javab thay teri ik nigaah main aa gaye
(This is one my absolute favorite shers)
